Nice club and good leader/organizer but always trying to sell something,imo.

I take all NAR statistics with a grain (and sometimes a shaker) of salt...They are a for-profit organization that has a vested interest in promoting their brand and their services, and as such, any statistics they generate should be met with major skepticism.While common sense and my experience tells me that having a great agent (or even having your property just listed on the MLS) will greatly reduce your DOM, I'm not at all convinced that having a REALTOR representing you is more advantageous than have an non-REALTOR agent representing you.

But word to the wise... if your going to go through them.. be prepared for a VERY long closing process, no organization, answering machine after answering machine, no call backs and more fees then what you would typically pay on a home.

They are a private organization, you can't have checks and balances.

I have been to several of these types of events and things change rapidly outside of the organized activities.

IMO the downside risk outweighs the upside potential.Doing a flip from a distance can be problematic but not impossible if organized correctly.

The benefits of putting your plan on paper are great, and include:1) Organizing your thoughts and goals2) Finding loopholes or areas you missed in your initial planning3) Provides a historical record of your original plan4) Forces you to gather more information through research, market analysis, etcYou specifically asked about marketing, which should be a section in your business plan.

Not that being organized isn't important but don't get too caught up in all the unimportant details.Always remember that the most important part of this whole thing called Wholesaling is FINDING DEALS.
